Blair Meat Market LLC

Blair Meat Market LLC operates at 650 West 4th Street in Blair, Wisconsin, in Trempealeau County. The plant holds federal establishment numbers M47886, P47886 and V47886, with a grant of inspection dated August 24, 2022. FSIS lists activities that include meat slaughter, meat processing, poultry processing, and voluntary meat slaughter and processing. FSIS classifies the establishment as Very Small.

Under inspection the plant reports slaughtering cattle, hogs, and sheep and lamb, with a reported slaughter volume category of 1, meaning under 1,000 head per year. It also reports custom-exempt slaughter, in which animals owned by the customer are processed and the packages are marked Not for Sale, and reports retail-exempt sales. Search listings describe the business as family owned and operated since 2021, and as a USDA inspected meat and retail business that also offers custom work.

The establishment website on file, theblairmeatmarket.com, returned no readable text when fetched. Secondary listings indicate a product range that includes beef, pork, lamb, goat and bison, and a Swedish potato sausage carried at Blair and at a second location in Black River Falls. Beyond these points and the federal record, details such as booking practice, pricing, cut and wrap options and confirmed hours are not yet on file.

The plant reports both federally inspected meat slaughter and custom-exempt slaughter to FSIS, so animals may be handled either for resale under inspection or for the owner's own use with packages marked Not for Sale. Species slaughtered under inspection are reported as cattle, hogs, and sheep and lamb, and the reported slaughter volume category is under 1,000 head per year, consistent with a Very Small establishment. Booking lead times, scheduling windows, kill fees, cut and wrap charges, hanging weight terms and any minimums are not stated in the sources on file. Farmers should contact the plant at (608) 989-2510 to confirm current availability, as listed.

Blair Meat Market LLC reports custom-exempt slaughter to FSIS, which means it can process an animal a customer already owns (a whole, half, or share bought before slaughter) and return it in packages marked Not for Sale. Most small farms have one or two plants they book with, and the plant's calendar decides the delivery date.

Blair Meat Market reports retail-exempt sales and is described in secondary listings as a USDA inspected meat and retail business, so meat is sold over a counter at the Blair address. Listings name beef, pork, lamb, goat and bison among the products, plus a Swedish potato sausage said to be stocked at both the Blair and Black River Falls locations. Halves and quarters, bundle boxes, online ordering, delivery and shipping are not addressed in the sources on file.

If you are buying a half or quarter animal, the plant is where the animal is processed; the farm sells you the animal. Read how to buy a half cow for the sequence and the math.
